Descrição do livro

Trails don’t maintain themselves. And poorly designed trails don’t last.

The Trail Maintenance and Construction Notebook – 2025 Edition is the definitive hands-on guide for building and maintaining sustainable natural surface trails in today’s challenging environments.

With more than 160,000 miles of trails managed across public lands, the need for skilled trail professionals has never been greater. This updated edition reflects where trail programs invest the most time and resources—maintenance—and emphasizes the critical connection between smart design and long-term durability.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • How to plan and prioritize trail projects

  • Core sustainability principles: environmental, social, and economic

  • Proper trail grades, slope ratios, and the “half rule”

  • Rolling contour trail design and drainage techniques

  • Maintenance strategies that treat root causes—not just symptoms

  • Construction methods including full-bench and partial-bench techniques

  • Building and maintaining structures: retaining walls, steps, bridges, culverts, causeways

  • Corridor clearing, hazard mitigation, and safe tool use

  • Accessibility guidelines and inclusive trail design

  • Decommissioning unsustainable or user-created routes

  • Working effectively with partners and volunteers

This edition features updated photos, diagrams, and practical field insights designed to strengthen understanding—not just teach steps. You’ll gain not only the “how,” but the “why” behind trail construction decisions, helping you solve problems creatively and confidently in the field.

In cooperation with the Recreational Trails Program of the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
